Guide to Improved Spelling
Be patient. Learning to become a good speller takes time.
Use spell check, consult a dictionary, or check a list of commonly misspelled words (like the list that follows).
Learn the correct pronunciation of each word you are trying to spell. Knowing the correct pronunciation of a word will help you remember how it’s spelled.
Check the meaning of each word you look up in the dictionary for pronunciation. (Knowing how to spell a word is of little use if you don’t know what it means.)
Practice spelling the word before you close the dictionary. Look away from the page and try to see the word in your mind’s eye. Write the word on a piece of paper. Check the spelling in the dictionary and repeat the process until you are able to spell the word correctly.
Keep a list of the words that you often misspell.
